- a consumer goods (or appliances) industries to manufacture such devices/products with configurations in languages based on geography or location where these devices are distributed, sold and/or operated. For example, if a consumer appliance (e.g., a photocopier machine) is intended to be distributed and/or sold in China, the consumer appliance is configured in Mandarin or Cantonese language. Similarly, if a consumer appliance is to be sold in Japan, the appliance is configured in Japanese language by default.
- these business devices are configured with English language since it is the often language that people attempt to speak or read but still some users may not understand it properly, hence may not be able to operate the devices.
